Leaves burned after spraying a cocktail

To repel aphids I sprayed garlic infused in alcohol with water, already did this few times without side effects. But this time I added several drops of tea tree essential oil. Is it possible that the essential oil has burned the leaves so much or is this some nutrient deficiency?

it's similar to watering in the summer while the sun is shining on the plant. the water acts like a magnifying glass on the leaves and the sun's rays do the rest. it's even worse with oil on the leaves, which can't penetrate the plant or seep away. it stays on the leaves for a long time and burns and burns

Never spray your plants with alcohol or essential oils, they are cannabis plants, not hippies. There are plenty of proper products to get rid of aphids, some natural ones too. Unless you actually have aphids, I would not spray them "just in case"...........treat problems, don't create problems. Yes, it is damage from your home made spray, it is not a nutrient problem. Stick with real science and avoid ghetto science!

If it happened after the spray it is likely the spray. it does not look like nutrient defencity. If you are trying to kill aphids just soap and water works well or blasting them off with a garden hose. Neem works a bit better then tee tree oil but other more conventional pesticides are also available and some are in the natural range.

This is to me like she would do great with some Epsom Salt. 150-200ppm added to tap. PH 6.5-7 with soil. It'll be an excellent input of Mag/Sulphur which I think this is. You can also add as a foliar spray. Just dim the lights 1st until she dries up. Less ppm on a foliar spray. 100ppm of ES added to tap Once a wk Don't get anything with aloe Vera or anything in it just pure ES. Good
